L'Âtre Bistro in Joliette

Everything is always excellent Great food and service!!!

Absolutely perfect! What can I say about the customer service apart from incredible. I went with my wife to the restaurant which has had a very good reputation in Joliette for many years. My wife was surprised by the quantity of alcohol available and the choice of many good bottles of wine. We looked at the menu for several minutes before deciding because my wife wanted chicken and I wanted poutine haha we quickly realized that we were off the mark and we resigned ourselves to eating the choices offered in a seemingly unaffordable menu but when youre done eating every penny is worth spending. We ate a poutine with duck confit and foie gras, an extraordinary Caesar salad and chicken with honey muskellunge, not to mention the chocolate volcano fondant with a delicious caramel coulis, all made 100/100 in the kitchen. We just might want to go back. This Joliette restaurant lives up to its reputation. Parking: Parking is on the street and metered but free after 6:00 p.m. and also free on Saturday and Sunday. Wheelchair accessibility: No ramp for the disabled but if you have a cane there are not many steps to climb.

I loved my experience from A to Z! The warm welcome, the fast, impeccable cuisine and what can we say about Jeffrey who listened without even having to say anything. I highly recommend and one thing is certain, I will return with great pleasure!

Very good restaurant! Treat yourself, you shouldnt be disappointed. Dont trust the menu on the web, it is not at all up to date.

A little noisy even if we had asked for a quiet place. Decent dinner (half club sandwich) Beautiful bistro, nice atmosphere

Always nice and delicious

Courteous staff, good service.

Best restaurant I have eaten at. Everything was perfect. Thank you for strongly recommending it and welcome to return. THANKS

Well done!! I love the fact that ALL the staff never hesitate to serve us and check every detail of our requests !! Wow!!! What impeccable service !! The mussels were super delicious and the braised cod was succulent!! A must in Joliette!!!

Beautiful place to discover and good food!! Served by all the staff without hesitation!!! Wow great service!!! It looks like a big family where you really feel at home!! All elements are carefully chosen for a very high quality meal!!! The choice of wines well recommended!!! In short I will go back often and I will make it my place of choice in Joliette..!!!

The meals are always excellent and the service is fast and courteous. I definitely recommend it and even if youre not local, its worth the detour!

Great discovery, we ate very well. To recommend.

Beautiful atmosphere, I find the service different because we felt more like guests in a house than in a restaurant. We ate both choices of pasta... Seriously yum and the starter was so good, unfortunately the names went out of my head because they were funny names hahah

WoW!!! But what an extraordinary evening with our server Jeff!!! Delicious meal, impeccable service!!! I recommend to everyone!!!!

My boyfriend said today that it was his new favorite restaurant. The staff is great, smiling, friendly. The food is on point. The advice on beer is also great.

Nice place. Good service. Good food. Good atmosphere.

Good service rather the food. I have never had such a tasteless salmon croquette salad. Really disappointing

We went to eat Wednesday June 19, 2024 in the evening. We were 8 adults. I ordered the cod sticks for 32cad. I was shocked at what I was served. The fish sticks were delicately fried and the flesh was soft, however the rest left me speechless .4 salad wedges around the plate with nothing, plain! and at the bottom of the deep plate .plain carrot and celery sticks but what is that!!!!! When they served me, I felt ashamed for the Chef!!!! The sauce for the fish was a common mayo with a little ketchup to make it pink, again...shame!!!! The rest of the dishes were OK but with no presentation, the pasta served already mixed, even at home I take better care of the dishes Brief!!! Very disappointing in terms of inventive cuisine. It was very hot in the restaurant because there was air conditioning for the entire large room. I understood the waitresss explanation well but the management could have planned for the very hot period and with a full room, buy 4 fans for 22CAD at Walmart and put them in the corners to mix the air, my husbands shirt was soaked. The explanation for the bottles of lukewarm water served at the table was also understanding but the boxes of ice exist, and in this case serving large glasses of ice with a spoon for the guests is done! Its called reactivity. Summer has only just begun!!!! When you ask for certain prices on your menu, you have to know how to offer customers a minimum of comfort as well as a taste experience, right? I dont think Ill come back, nor recommend your restaurant.

Very disappointed with my last visit. My onion soup only tasted like water, starter plate of tatare too simple (meat and croutons only), choice of very expensive white wine (cheapest at $50) and the one we chose was served to us lukewarm. Big bill to be disappointed

The best restaurant in Joliette! It s a treat! THANKS

Excellent restaurant. Really really good!!! The prices are very reasonable.

Great place and the food was excellent

Delicious, everything! A crush for arancini and Brussels sprouts, yes yes!

Superb place to eat with friends. I go there every Friday. Good atmosphere, good service, smiling people.

Very good service. Excellent food. Nice atmosphere. A little noisy.

Beautiful restaurant, super attentive, courteous, but unpretentious service. Impressive decor, beautiful private room in one of the liquor reserves! Short menu, but one that will suit all tastes. Generous starter portions... so much so that we stuck to that! What a shame we will have to come back! Perfect for meals with friends. Special mention to the cutlery... magnificent!

Very good but too close to the front door... We were cold!

We went there for a friends party. Very nice bistro with a nice atmosphere and excellent service (first and second floor full). There were eight of us and we had different dishes and we were all delighted. I recommend this restaurant!

Excellent food, good service, but drinks a little bland. Otherwise, great atmosphere!

Excellent as always! And what can we say about Julien s service and suggestions! Perfect experience!

Always excellent! Good food, affordable and courteous staff and nice atmosphere. A large selection of alcohol.

Really disappointed! Very ordinary food for the price. Correct service nothing more. Little variety in the menu. Wine by the glass served lukewarm. In short, I really didnt like it and wont go back.

Excellent food, excellent wine, excellent service. My favorite in Joliette since its opening! I recommend 100%!

Everything was perfect

Really a welcoming restaurant and what can I say about the food, sublime!

Nice friendly place. The food is good. The only problem, very expensive. With a small glass of wine (we dont use much) at $13 a glass, count on around $50 with tip or more for one person at lunchtime...I imagine that the evening prices must be overpriced.

Super

Always good excellent service

Everything is excellent, I love it!

One of the best restaurants in Joliette.

So loud, it sounds like Im in a bar. People are screaming and banging on the table. The burger bun was not cooked and the fries were bathed in oil.

Thanks for everything! I celebrated my 50th birthday on the 2nd floor of this great bistro. They served my 37 guests almost at the same time. The meal was delicious and the service impeccable. I was even offered help decorating! We were able to have the very beautiful room until midnight and I could even have my music group. Only small downside: the time to serve the first glass. The rest: perfect! You make a great team. Dynamic and professional. Thanks again!

Excellent cuisine. Attentive service. Nice wine list. Booking is recommended.

Great experience! Atmosphere, music (not too loud, you can chat without shouting). The sommelier suggested an excellent wine with our meals, the flank steak and what about the lobster Taglioni 10/10

Very good food, good service, intimate atmosphere.

Good

If we could give 6 stars out of 5, I would!

Extremely warm welcome! The dishes are a pure delight! The atmosphere and service were wonderful! Every time I go to Joliette, I dont feel like I have the choice to eat there!

Delicious and excellent service. We will definitely come back to try more dishes!

Simply perfect

Each time, it seems that their waitresses are lost, yesterday it was 1) waiting for a cocktail which took time, and reminding them, oh yes I had more mint left to make a mohito even though it was offered to us. 2) onion soup...the broth does not have a rich taste, too pronounced a bacon taste 3) beef fillet skewer...mashed potatoes with motons ...no sauce for the meat, very very ordinary.4) the accras were good 5) the parmentier should have been braised beef with mashed sweet potatoes, but horrible, the beef tasted nothing, no rich broth and tasty, only dried shredded, same thing for sweet potatoes, this vegetable must be upgraded, it is very soft. Didnt like it at all. Very disappointing.

To recommend without hesitation!

My customers told me a lot about this restaurant as being a great place and indeed...its great and its delicious.

The food is exemplary, wonderful, I love this restaurant and I highly recommend it, one of the best I have tasted. EXCELLENT ! These are the words that suit him

The food is excellent! they take allergies into consideration Great service and what can we say about the wine,...a delight! I recommend this restaurant without any hesitation!

Best restaurant in a long time and excellent natural wine. Go take a look, you wont be disappointed!

Ok.. every time I go there.. the waitresses are so wonderful... Tonight Noémie made all the difference.. one of the best waitresses I have ever been around short menu but each product is a 10/10 well done to all the team

Wow, what a great discovery. DELICIOUS pork cheek. Best St Martin shell ever. Trio of beers, a great way to taste. To return and return

Here is our steak aged for 30 days, at $75 its a steal.

It was perfect. Beautiful menu and nice wine list. Courteous and attentive staff.

1 decent flank steak, 1 medium tartare, 1 bottle of red for $55 ($15 at the SAQ) for a total of $150 with taxes and tips. Its worth 3 stars...

The Hearth is simply extraordinary, exquisite and generous!

Although it was full, they accommodated us in the wine cellar. We ate like kings. Thank you great service very good 5 star beef.

Wow! The food is incredible and so is the service. I recommend them without hesitation.

Great food

Good meal but the red wine served room temperature when its hot ordinary at the price of bottles

Referred by a friend and without much expectation, it was a great discovery. Each dish was seriously delicious, with a balance of flavors worthy of fine dining. Naomie, the on-site sommelier, suggested excellent wines to accompany our dishes. Highly recommended!

Great welcome, excellent food, a must if you are near Joliette

Great food

Very nice culinary experience .to redo some...

Everything in the superlative. Excellent meal. Impeccable service. Courteous and friendly staff.

Great food, amazing alcohol selections, natural wine! It s now my favorite Joliette restaurant! The service is very friendly and smiling! Go for it! Simply and let yourself be impressed! Good tasting

Excellent. Fast service. Courteous and friendly staff.

GOOD

Beautiful place and delicious food. A big wow for the huge bar and the staff in general: qualified and friendly. We were very well guided in the choice of wine and cocktails. The atmosphere is lively and festive so sometimes you have to raise the volume to understand each other. The proposed table is original and well personalized. A great discovery, I will definitely return to relive the experience.

Delicious and very high quality service as well as a great manager always ready to answer you

Great discovery, innovative and well-crafted recipes. Special mention to the tatakis (tuna and beef) as well as the fondant brie and mussels.

A lovely evening in good company, wow service and very good food

Richard lortie! A tartare that has no tartare and just Bq chips! Very disappointed!

We were a group of around 40 people, all served at the same time. The quality of the food was impeccable and the service impeccable!! An expedition Nothing beyond my expectations, even though I had already been praised for the place!

Pleasant. Friendly staff

Great drink Cold Arranccini in the center Excellent mussels and fries Market price Attentive service Very noisy when the restaurant is full

Very attentive waiter and good advice on menu as well as food/wine pairing. Delicious meal as well as crème brûlée. Great discovery, experience to repeat. Only small problem: a little noisy, next time, we would prefer the second floor, probably quieter.

Umm... it s SO good! The staff is more than friendly, the prices are reasonable... I love it!

Excellent!! As usual. My take-out order was still hot at home, the dishes are appetizing even in a take-out dish! Thank you for your excellent work to your team

Very good service, good menu. Several kinds of beers from microbreweries to accompany meals. I recommend!

Excellent beef tartare meal. Smiling and courteous waitress and sommelier. Pleasant atmosphere.

Excellent meal, good service, warm atmosphere and lovely waitresses.

it ticks every time :p

I have been a frequent customer since their beginning, I have always appreciated the atmosphere, the service as well as the food. On the other hand, I must say that the quality of the dishes disappointed us greatly on our last visits.

Excellent welcome, good food, pleasant atmosphere and very friendly staff. To try with your eyes closed

Tasty meals, excellent wine and attentive service for my many allergies; thanks again! I recommend! The experience is worth its weight in gold. Only downside: the music is too loud to meet up with friends.

Excellent food, fairly fast service and great staff

Small restaurant, varied menu. We shared an aged t-bone. Cooking has been exceeded therefore meat is tougher. Good wine and dessert.

DELICIOUS!! From the pear mojito, the melted brie starter, the ribs or the shrimp and chorizo pasta...everything was delicious!! Competent and very kind staff! Thank you for this beautiful evening! I will come back!

Very good restaurant. Until now its the best side lift in the area. The service is professional with that little touch that makes this place unique.

I ate the half club sandwich. He was excellent!

Ordinary starter, inedible flank steak, poor customer service

Very good and great atmosphere!

The mussels, wow.

The dishes are always delicious and the atmosphere is superb!

Good, crispy fries, delicious carpaccio and charming service!

Very nice atmosphere and excellent food. We have a very nice birthday party for my boy.

Best restaurant in Joliette without a doubt! Service, quality of food, wine list, in short, everything is there!

Since then I have always recommended the atre to my colleagues and friends. I sell all of these dishes but especially this Caesar salad on toast. But now the latter has been removed from the evening menu. Disappointment and disappointment.. This salad was the best in the world, why did you remove it from the menu, you dont change a winning recipe. This Caesar salad made me salivate just thinking about it. Really a shame to have replaced this tasty dish with a raw vegetable dip... A very disappointed customer.

Very good service good beer

No expensive not good not for me

Very delicious. Between death 10/10 Tataki beef 10/10 fried cauliflower excellent their soup yummm plays pork wow. Their filet mignon wow vrmt a good little restaurant I love going there!! The only problem is you have to book... its always full. Well done!

Excellent service, #1 food, beautiful atmosphere.

Inviting place, warm welcome, sublime tataki, great service!

Excellent and friendly, very nice wine list.

Super nice place, super food, super staff

We reserved a few days in advance for our Valentines Day dinner and surprise, when we entered the bistro, the table that had been dedicated to us was the one stuck on the exterior door and whats more, we couldnt be sit opposite each other. Finally we left for another restaurant, too bad!

Excellent generous portion, Very good service. But the music is really very loud...

Super good restaurant, you have to book, but its worth it. I loved everything I ate and the drinks were delicious!

Alright!

Expensive for not much

Excellent food, reservation required Lots of customers, a little cramped but very pleasant.

Its a very good restaurant

The quality of the food.

Excellent meal, good service, good wine choice recommendation. Relaxed and quiet atmosphere on the second floor. Very pleasant. Good evening.

Wow the best ribs Ive eaten in a while. And the very affordable cost 1 bloody cesar 1 plate of ribs with soup like entering for $31 wow!

The food is excellent, good beers and outstanding service

The food is good but the alcohol costs a fortune

Great for a business dinner!

A must in the Joliette region! A good restaurant that encourages local producers and whose menu always varies a little depending on the season. The food is always excellent and the take-out option during COVID is great.

Bon petit resto bar situé au centre-ville de Joliette, un peu bruyant mais raisonnable. Il ny a pas de table dhôte, tout est à la carte, vous devez payer la boisson ce nest pas un apporter votre vin,ce qui fait augmenter considérablement la facture. Les plats sont bons mais simplices et un peu onéreux, mais quand même ça vaut le détour.

Super trendy bistro good menu and cocktail dish, you can try practically everything on the menu is delicious hard to go wrong if you enjoyed comfort food reinvented the tartare and luxury poutine is delicious as well as the duck flatbread pizza starter and l The fried Calmart starter, the lunch menu is very affordable, the mac n cheese and the club sandwich with avocado and homemade coleslaw, very good, I recommend! Service a little long during peak hours and weekends, it is better to book in advance as the place is not very large!

Very good food and very good service

Very good bistro food!

Im going to give 4 stars because the beer was good, the waitress was smiling and welcoming, but my meal fell to my heart, poutine is definitely not their specialty. But it seems that you have to go there for something other than that.

The food is good but too much noise prevents you from enjoying it!

Nice place for groups

Very good good atmosphere excellent restaurant
